Dr Emma Nguyen

I am a Lecturer in Child Language Acquisition in the School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics. I got my PhD from the University of Connecticut; before arriving to Newcastle, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Irvine. In my research, I investigate the quantity and quality of child-directed input that is developmentally meaningful for children learning the same language particularly in their acquisition of complex syntactic and semantic knowledge.
